Using Matlab on Research Computing Resources

KoKo 3.0 (koko-login.hpc.fau.edu)

Several versions of Matlab are available on Koko. To check which versions are available, please use the command ‘module avail matlab’ in a terminal on Koko. To use Matlab, please use the following commands:

  1. If you wish to use X11 via RDP or Koko-Rdp.hpc.fau.edu execute the following command one time, this is needed due to a Slurm bug. It will be fixed in the next release per Slurm.
    ssh-keygen
  2. Due to the above bug you must execute this command before executing srun, we will update documents when this is no longer required.
    ssh localhost -Y
  3. Load the matlab module, example:
    module load matlab-R2019b-gcc-8.3.0-srkjgbh
  4. Start matlab:
    srun -N1 -p shortq7 --x11 --pty matlab -desktop

When finished, please close Matlab to release resources for other users to access.
